Subject: CD Command and dirs with spaces

I'm running B20 on NT w/ SP3 and find that the 'cd' command under
Bash will not recognize directories with a space character in them.
In particular c:\Program Files.

I've tried escaping the space char, double escaping it, quoting the
dir, quoting and escaping, all to no avail.

Is this a bug?  Is there a workaround?

TIA,

  Dave
